Benjamin Logan McGowan

I was charged with a DUI through a bizarre set of circumstances and Mr. McGowan went through all the evidence, guided me through the process completely and was available anytime I had questions he always communicated clearly, honestly and straightforward in a way anyone can understand. When we had t...he opportunity to discuss our case he and had the charges reduced to a traffic violation. I hope I never need an attorney for matters like this again, but if I ever do, Ben McGowan is my first call.

Mr. McGowan was the consummate professional with immense knowledge of the ins and outs of my DUI situation. He settled my case and had this expunged from my record. A DUI is such a stupid and demoralizing thing and there is no coddling; nor should there be. He is straight forward and sets proper e...xpectations at each turn. I can't imagine anyone better to represent me. Very pleased, indeed.

I had a domestic violence issue which Ben was very helpful in dealing with. After looking at the details of the arrest he advised me that while I could hire him he thought my case was one I should be able to navigate myself. He laid out what could and might happen and after appraising my own cognitio...n opined that I should be ok dealing with the DA myself. Taking his advice my case was passed and the threat of conviction - no matter how slim - removed from my shoulders. He took plenty of time to go into details, ask many of my bemused questions and helped my feel more positive. Which in such a situation was like mana. He then followed up after the case went to court, answered more of my questions on the phone and was generally the embodiment of what one could hope for in legal advice. All of this done without charging me a penny.

About a year ago, after some legal trouble, I was advised to contact a specific firm. Ben was my attorney, and from the very beginning to the very end was always so helpful and responsive. He helped me organize all the items I would need to get together, he prepared me with what to expect, and he exp...lained several scenarios that would have otherwise gone straight over my head. I am a worrier, and it was beyond reassuring to have such a knowledgeable and trustworthy individual available. Even now, if I have any uncertainties in the aftermath of it all, he makes the time to meet with me and discuss what is going on, usually within 24 hours. I could not, and would not, recommend any other lawyer but Ben McGowan in the area.

I have a friend who works in the local D. A.’s office, and I asked her to suggest an attorney to me, and she referred me to Ben McGowan, who said he is respected and admired by the attorneys in her office. I’ve worked with Ben on both civil and criminal matters over a number of years and have had ve...ry favorable outcomes. When I initially met with him, he even offered to refer me to another lawyer, because the case I needed representation for was not his usual area of expertise, but since he came so highly recommended, and also because, after meeting him, I had a lot of faith in him, I hired him to represent me, and he did an outstanding job. My experience with Ben is that he thoroughly explains everything to me in detail, listens to my questions with a keen ear and takes the time to answer them clearly, and keeps me updated on the progress of the case. Aside from being an excellent attorney, he is also a compassionate person.
